[xsl] count() expression in transform for xml spec 1.0 (xmlspec.xsl)

["Abie Hamaoui" <ahama5@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was reading Michael's section of worked examples, and had a question about 
the numbering template used in formatting the table of contents:

when using, <<count="inform-div1|div1|div2|div3|div4">>,  this is apparently 
used to reference the ancestor elements of these tag names.  but doesn't 
this notation denote a reference to the children elements of the current 
node?

the whole template was this:
  <xsl:template mode="number" match="*">
     <xsl:number level="multiple"
        count="inform-div1|div1|div2|div3|div4"
        format="1.1 "/>
  </xsl:template>

thanks in advance.
